We look forward to providing an opportunity for you to bring your horses to train, practice, and further develop their dressage skills in a relaxed, enjoyable, and quality competition environment. It is a great time for bringing along young horses, inexperienced riders, horses and riders moving up a level, and for riders wanting an opportunity to practice tests with their horses in preparation for bigger shows in the season ahead.
